Adam sat at home on the sofa with Jess, Harry, and Lucas and Amelia. Jess was running-around dealing with Lucas and Amelia and making sure that they were ready to leave for school on time. And Adam was sat with Harry led in his arms, barely-awake. Adam looked-down at his precious-son as he wriggled into a more-comfortable-position then fell-asleep in Adam's arms.

"You look just like your Grand-Father, do you know that?" Adam told him quietly, but sadly as he remembered his parents and his brother. "Uncle Alex would have loved to meet-you...And so would Grandma..." Adam said as he tried to stifle a smile at his beautiful-sleeping-son, but it was difficult to smile when all he could think about was the day of that car-crash. The day his life changed forever. He became a carer towards Alex rather-than a brother, and his parents who had brought him-up so so well, weren't around anymore to comfort him or give him a hug when he needed it the most. Adam watched Harry sleeping as he tried to stop the tears that were were about to drop from his eyes from falling. He shut his eyes tightly for a couple of seconds before opening them again.

"LUUCCAAS. AMELIA." Jess shouted up the stairs. "Come-On we're going to be late if you don't hurry-up." She called-up the stairs in a temper before storming into the living-room which snapped Adam away from his sad-thoughts.

"Thanks for your help this morning Adam." Jess said stroppilly at him.

Adam took a deep-breath in then breathed-out a long-sigh. "I'm Sorry." He said quietly, just above the voume of a whisper.

Jess was shocked that Adam didn't argue back. That was unusual for Adam, usually if they were going-to argue at-all, then it would be in the morning, when everyone was rushed and tired. A bad-mix for Adam Trueman.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked, concerned for her fiancee. "KIDS HURRY-UP." She called angrily.

"Yeah..." Adam trailed-off before sniffing in some-tears that he felt forming in his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Jess said before crouching-down infront of him and placing a hand on his knee.

Adam looked Jess in the eyes, his own-eyes filling with tears that needed/wanted to fall, but Adam wouldn't let-them.

"Yeah I'm Sure." Adam whispered to Jess with a weak and forced-smile. He didn't want her to be worrying about him aswell as everything happenign with Sean.

"Alright, well you just look after this little-one..." Jess told-him softly, referring to little-baby-Harry.

Adam nodded before Jess rubbed his knee with a smile then walking-off to go and get her kids downstairs.

Adam looked-back down at Harry who was still sleeping like an Angel. "I Love-You Harry." He whispered to his son before he leaned-down to him and softly-kissed-his-forehead.

Eventually Jess and Adam had arrived at work...late, but at least they were here now. They had dropped Lucas and Amelia at school, and Harry at the baby-sitters. The car-journey had been silent apart from the noise of the car-engine and the Radio playing quietly in the background. Jess wasn't sure what was-up with Adam at the moment, but something wasn't right and she was worried about-him. Harry was okay, she was okay, and he hadn't tolf her about anything happening at work at the moment, so Jess could only assume that he was either annoyed with her, or something else had made-him like-this, but whatever-it-was, Jess was determined to find-out soon...and fast.

Adam and Jess walked into the department together, in silence, but hand-in-hand.

"Oooh you two are late this-morning...good-night was it?" Zoe teased as they entered the ED together.

Adam groaned. "Oh just shut-up will-you Zoe..." Adam said grumpily before he walked-off into the staff-room.

Zoe laughed then looked at Jess. "Ooh Someone got out on the wrong side of the bed this-morning..." She said sarcastically to Jess with a friendly-smile.

"Huh, I don't know what's wrong with him today Zo, he's been like-this all morning...dead-quiet, and no-smiles...I don't think I even got-my good-morning kiss this-morning...I don't know what's going-on with him Zoe...I'm worrited about-him..." Jess told her as she stood with ehr good-friend at the reception-desk.

"Ohhh I'm sure he'll be fine Jess, he's probably just had a bust-up with Jordan...but good-morning kisses ey? Oh whoever would have guesed that Adam Trueman was the romantic-type?" Zoe teased.

This made Jess laugh. "Ah that's better." Zoe said happily before winking-at-Jess, then walking-off to deal with the patients in the waiting-area.

Jess smiled as she watched Zoe walk-off then went to join Adam in the staffroom. He had put his scrubs on now and was looking into locker, like he didn't want to make eye-contact with anyone, in fear of revealing the truth to them. Jess walked with a flirtatious-bounce over to Adam and squeezed-his-side as she tried to make-him-jump. "BOO!" She shouted, trying to cheer her boyfriend-up a little.

Adam jumped and banged his head on the side of the locker. "Ahh, Ow." Adam said in a frustrated-manner then turned-around to see who it was. "Jess, that-hurt." He moaned.

"Oh Alright-Then, I won't try and make you smile...what's up with you today Adam? You haven't smiled since you woke-up this morning?" Jess questioned.

"Nothing..." Adam shrugged-it-off as he began to walk-off, but Jess took a hold of his arm and stopped-him.

"Don't try that one on me Adam you know it won't work, I know you too well...and something isn't right...come-on, you know you can tell me anything Ad..." She told him softly, but Adam refused to turn-around.

"Not-Today Jess..." Adam said as he released Jess' grip-on-him then opened the staff-room-door and walked-off.

"Not-Today? Adam, what's that supposed to mean exactly?" Jess asked, trying to stay-calm with-him, but she was just getting frustrated with his refusal to co-operate now.

"What do you think it means Jess?" Adam said in a raised-voice as he spun-round to face-her, an angry-look on his face.

Jess laughed in an angry-way. "Hah, so I can read-your mind-now can I? Well I'm sorry Adam, but I can't do that for you alright?" She told him, also in a raised-voice, before she stormed-past-him.

Adam let her-go, he'd deal with her later, he just couldn't deal with arguments today. He had to focus on remembering his family. Adam ran his hand over his face slowly as he tried to calm-himself-down. Nick walked past at that moment and could see that something was-up with his friend.

"Are you alright there Doctor-Trueman?" Nick asked-him, stopping infront of him.

"Urm...yeah, I've just got a...I've just got a bit of a headache...that's...all..." Adam lied.

"Okay well maybe you should take a break..." Nick suggested.

"That's the thing, I havent...treated anyone yet..." Adam said regretfully.

Nick sighed, he could read-him-like a-book. "Oh Adam, what's really the matter?" He questioned.

Adam took a deep-breath in and closed his eyes as he slowly released that breath. Adam's eyes-snapped-open. "It was today...the car-crash...it was today..." Adam said quietly to Nick.

"Oh..." Nick said a little awkwardly. "Well I'm sorry about that Adam...should you be at work?"

"Yeah urm...I'll be fine in a second...just give me a minute alright? I need to apoligise to Jess...I think I've been taking my bad-mood out on her this morning, and that's not fair on her is it?" Adam confided in Nick.

"Okay...d-d-does Jess know about what happened?" Nick asked.

"Well...yeah...yeah she does...but she doesn't know that today's the anniversary..."

"Well then Adam...maybe you should tell-her..."

"Yes Nick, I know, alright?" Adam said, trying not to take his feelings out on Nick aswell as Jess and Zoe.
